ABSOLUTExclusive: Max Bemis Covers Hot Rod Circuit

Back when Andy Jackson of Hot Rod Circuit got married, Say Anything frontman Max Bemis gifted him with a cover of the band's "At Nature's Mercy." The parties have agreed to share the track with fans as a bonus track on the vinyl re-issue of Hot Rod Circuit's 2007 album, The Underground Is A Dying Breed. You can listen to the cover right now in the replies, and then order a copy of the record when they go on sale today at 1:30 from Enjoy the Ride Records. Thunderbeard Records will also have their own variant.

Two of my favorite bands ever, but I gotta say, this is gonna be a grower. I enjoy the painful splits, but the beginning of this song just sounded awkward. It gets a bit better if you stick through the whole thing. Cool cover, just...not what I was expecting. That's my bad though.
